/wage/ - Wagecuck General

The Mondays™ Edition

Welp here we go again.

Icebreaker: How do you guys feel about the NPC meme that’s going around? Any truth to it? We all those mid 40s literal boomers that ONLY seem to talk about their kids’ soccer practice or them redoing their yard and roof, with no semblance of higher thought whatsoever. Do you guys ever find yourself grazing through life?

[Anonymous No.11021772]

there was a study done that showed most people don't have an inner voice. NPC meme is real. We're living in a simulation and only a quarter of the population has actual awareness.

Dude wtf is this actually real?
I have inception-like conversations with myself whereby I ask myself a question, my inner voice will say that's stupid and a second inned voice will chip in with their opinion upon which their inner voice will think something and this logical 'thought stacking' will often go many layers deeper... Meanwhile, *I* am like an omniscient being and can read all of these "People's" thoughts.
Does anyone have a link to the study?

Guys...I think my wife is an NPC.

I regularly have full one sided conversations with myself late at night once I know I'm alone (it's great for thinking and fleshing out ideas.) One night my wife heard me and confronted me the next day asking me who I had over so late last night.

She couldn't comprehend the fact that I talk to myself. She thought it was weird and that I was crazy. She couldn't grasp that I'm able to think in broader terms when I preposition my thoughts as a conversation.

Maybe I AM crazy. This certainly makes me feel better.

you own a restaurant? you can unironically pick up instagram model w-men that way. since you're wealthy enough to fly them places, you just have to be spending a lot of money and opening up more businesses around the coasts.

Im friends with a 10 insta girl who dated a guy 30 years older than her and almost married him if he wasn't emotionally and physically abusive. he's a multiple restaurant owner. the guys she meets usually have multiple brick and mortar businesses

Are you able to have deep conversations with your wife? Thinking out loud and talking to yourself at length, while it doesn't qualify you as crazy, can understandably turn some heads in question.

>Are you able to have deep conversations with your wife?

No. She isn't a deep thinker. She isn't stupid, but she is a concrete thinker and I'm abstract. I like to think of possibilities and abstractions, she likes to talk about the here and now. Our conversations go about as deep as what's for dinner.

>Thinking out loud and talking to yourself at length, while it doesn't qualify you as crazy, can understandably turn some heads in question.

Ya I understand this, that's why I wait until she goes to sleep. I know it's a weird thing to do but its easier to keep my thoughts aligned when I can say them out-loud. Especially true if something has gotten me emotionally charged (I'm a dude so I bottle everything up.)

Most guys would go to the garage and express themselves on the piece of junk they're trying to fix, I talk to myself about what the issue is and how I'm going to handle it.

Ya I guess I'm kind of a nut the more I think about it.

ah i don't own one unfortunately, I serve for a small chain. and it's kind of a unique situation. but, I helped grow that chain into 8-9 locations across the states and my bosses offered the first servers/bartenders/managers stake in the restaurant along with hourly wage + tips. so I work my serving shift, collect tips, and a bi-weekly check proportional to profits. it's a really sweet gig, to be honest. but when I tell women what I do they just hear "burger server" and write me off almost instantly, it's pretty fucking dumb

It's not that uncommon. A lot of people find it easier to just vocalize things as a way of making the whole thought process more spontaneous. Have you ever watched House? Remember the airplane episode? It's similar.

Basically he needs to have someone to discuss his theories with. In that episode he's in a plane so he just picks random people, including a child. It doesn't matter that they don't know shit about the subject, it's just that he needs someone to explain his theories and reach conclusions, even if in the end he's just talking to himself.

Thinking to yourself. Having a conversation with yourself in your mind and being aware of everything in every situation. Your mind is mostly/never ONLY focused on what is happening at the time. Thats what I think anyway, im never in connection with life, im always contemplating it and thinking about everyone and everything that happens. Im never only paying attention what what is in the present but rather everything around it.

Shoo shoo NPC, you have no input, only preordained responses.

On topic, is it really so weird? My grandfather is a very pragmatic and practical man, been a builder and engineer all his life, aswell as a former chairman in mid level national bodies back under soviet rule. So he's certainly not a mentally deficient or ill person, surely.

He's always held conversations with himself when handling tasks, running himself through various steps and narrating his actions. He explained this to me one summer when we were rebuilding an old family farm as something that he enjoys doing because it helps him arrange and organize his thoughts.

He calls the inner voice version of him the "Smarter Man". Someone who keeps his thoughts in order and questions what might be otherwise questionable.

I do the same, and I find it helps me in the same way.

I used to wonder how the doctrine of Calvinism could be true; why is it that some are predestined to be saved, while others are created to be destroyed? But then, it makes sense. The ones who are created to be destroyed aren't real people. They don't have thoughts or feelings. They're just robots. NPCs.

Do something productive, even if it's something that doesn't relate to whatever you normally do. For example, even though I don't know how to play the piano, I can at the very least memorize what keys to hit which gives the illusion that I know what I'm doing. Find a simple song you like and look up sheet music for it

NPC's annoy me, you see we're in a simulation, inside a simulation that's running another simulation. We are living in the 5th or sixth dimension and I want off this wild ride. When we die we exit the simulation we will transcend to the next level. The simulation was created by highly evolved humans to test the limits of AI to avoid a matrix style world. We're running all the experiments for the neosapiens. You can't escape it. Eventually we'll be running our own simulations and then the line of reality will be completely blurred. Enjoy endless hell my friends.

I mean I love family life and all that but together with wagecuckery it can get so tiring.. I even had a afternoon nap today. so good.

I honestly do not know. I bust my fucking ass. But, no the women I'm trying to attract have not said this to me directly. When the "so what do you do?" question pops up, I tell them and they instantly lose interest. The one that recently comes to mind is a girl I met for coffee, and things were off to a great start-- laughing, getting to know each other, whatever. 45min later, so what do you do? Oh I serve at *insert restaurant*, it's really cool I helped grow it into a few locations across the area. Almost immediately after that she had to go, and as we're parting ways outside of the coffee shop, I ask about a second date and she say she didn't feel any connection and felt we would be better off as friends. It's repeating moments like that that make me question whether or not it is really my job. In addition to that, the women in my life have continued to say it would help if I had a career going...
